After falling in love with the leader at first sight

144-148: CD No. 4

[Chapter 144: "Then, take me home."]

The breeze passed through the forest, the dazzling sunlight fell on the pile of dead leaves, the gurgling water covered the loud cicadas, and from the quiet water surface, the clear blue sky was like a beautiful abstract watercolor -

very beautiful, beautiful enough to make people intoxicated.

But the touch of being out of the world was hidden in his heart, the familiar feeling of suffocation blocked every alveolus, and the distant consciousness returned. Dazai, who was slowly sinking, recalled everything in an instant. He struggled violently, and the clear stream was disturbed by his struggle. Transparent water droplets splashed up and reflected colorful neon in the bright sunshine. A

weak cough sounded, and Dazai, who was covered in water, floated on the water. He looked around, a little unfamiliar forest, and then looked at himself, too small hands - because of the tacit understanding with Mashiro Hiiragi, many things did not need to be emphasized, such as reversing time again.

They all knew that reversing time to the moment they met was not enough to stabilize the world, so they needed to go further forward, but where was time reversed to now, and where was he?

Dazai got up in thought, and then found himself at the edge of a pond. The summer breeze and cicadas rang in his ears. He thought for a long time before he suddenly remembered from the corner of his memory where this place was. This was a mountain forest he passed by when he ran away from home from north to south. At that time, he found this pond formed by the waterfall in the forest, and sank into it because the pond was too beautiful. Then he floated along the stream to the village downstream and continued his aimless journey.

And at that time, no, it should be this time. At this time, he seemed to be only... eight years old?!

The expression disappeared from Dazai's face.

If he remembered correctly, Hiiragi Mashiro said that he awakened his supernatural powers when he was nine years old. In other words, at this point in time, Hiiragi Mashiro had not even developed his supernatural powers. That meant that...

the wind blew in the distant mountains, the white clouds in the sky slowly covered the overwhelming sun, and the suddenly dark forest covered Dazai's gloomy face and stiff body. There was no supernatural power at the time, which meant that Hiiragi Mashiro might have lost the memory of their coexistence. The only thing that could cause this result was the "book" that accumulated energy and gradually recovered.

Ah, as expected.

As expected, I should tear it up.

Saving the world or something, such a great goal should not appear in him. In this case, why not destroy it together? He struggled to climb out of the water, his wet black hair drooping, and together with the pure white bandage, his pale face turned pale.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded above his head.

"That..."

Dazai turned around instantly.

The bright sunlight broke through the clouds, and the dazzling light fell on the top of the waterfall. There was a stone where a person could stand. Against the light, he couldn't see the person standing on top, but he recognized the sword in the other person's hand.
